A Washington correspondent states
that petitions are coming in daily from
all parts OF Dakota for increased mail
faculties in the territory, and Delegate
Clifford is developing pedestrian quail
tiles by daily visits to the postoffice
department. The growing business OF
the territory has raised demand for
speedier and better facilities, especially
among the star routes. That from
Miles City, Mont, to Spearfish, OAK, is
the one on which the most energy ID
being expended, and an increase for this
will be secured. 1t is further intended
to increase the service from Spearfish tc
Camp Crook. Additional facilities and
new routes are wanted in Mercer, Nc,
Lean, Sargent and McHenry counties
in north Dakota. About ninety new
postofices are wanted IN the territory
Many Of them are on lines of road,
which have been constructed during the
past season.

Governor Pierce in the st. Paul
Pioneer Press: Dakota simply wants
what's fair. She comes pretty near
having right to demand that. The
Springer bill is unfair. 1t does not
require republican to see that. Every.
body knows it. No one is so stupid
as not to see that the admission of Da-
kota Is postponed for two years because
it is republican. We understand that
Mi. Springer closes his left eye sig
n.fioantly when the subject is alluded
to, and smilingly indicates that when
yoH catch weasel asleep you may ex.
peet to find Bill Springer just and up
right where justice and uprightness
interfere with his party. Bnt Mr..
Springer forgets that politicians
should "assume a virtue il
they have it not" No party
has succeeded that deliberately and
openly trampled on peoples rights.
Any clodhopper could do what Springer
is doing. It is the very course that
would suggest itself to o small mind. 1t
ID doing politically what SO many p co
pie do in domestic ecanomy--saving al
the spigot and wasting at the bung. BY
| SpringeT's act the democratic party will
save four votes IN the electoral college.
If it don't lose fifty by the same act
then manly sympathy and love of fsil
play has departed from the American
heart. We appeal to the old soldiers
CT the country to resent the treat
mept extended to Dakota, not only by
| Springer, but by oonEres5 generally.
No state In the union has so many
surviving soldiers of the rebellion il
proportion to population. They gained
their rights to the ballot while men lik,
Springer were at home swearing the wa
was failure. And now, after comply
ing six times over with every resquisitt
OF law or precedent for the admission o
states, they see him snatching the earn
ed ballot from their hands and sending
them back for two more years OF politi
cal servitude.

Preliminary Shirmfsfiing Over the

scope has shifted slightly in the legisla-
tive field to-day. Grigsby, who yester.
day was only shadow in the contest for
tho presidency of the council, this morn
ing Is attracting much larger share OF
attention. Matthews has the pledged
support of q nnmber of northern council
men, which McCumber claims will come
to him when Matthews inability to
gain additional support necessary III
central and southern counties is demon
strated. McCumber claims he has four
votes pledged from central Dakota,
which, added to the eight from the north,
would give him majority. Washa-

Total unnecessary expenditures. S187, 1856. 80
Here is total OF $lS7 ,S26.29 ordered
paid from the territorial treasury which,
under an economical administration of
affairs might have been very largely
reduced if not entirely saved. The items
and the interest on the same have not
yet been paid, but they are outstanding
obligations which must be met in time,
together with the interest which ae-
cumnlates at the rate of over ST 800 per
year. They are in litigation and the
first court has ordered their payment
and an appeal has been taken. In con-
nection with this Item there will also
accrue considerable bill for litigation.
1t will be noticed that five thousand
seven hundred dollars has been paid
two attorneys as their fees il fighting
the capital steal through the courts.
One of these attorneys is the attorney
for the North Pacific railroad company

travagance followed that act in which ar
utter disregard for the dollars and cents

moyal of the capital the allowance ol

sion. territorial Legislature is prohi

The salaries of the members OF the
capital commission during the past twt
years aggregate nearly ten thousand dol
lars and for this there has been no pre-
tense of a return in labor performed.
OF the $lS7 ,2S6.29 of money expended

The Effects of Mental Exhaustion.

Many diseases, especially those Of the
nervous system, are the products Of
daily renewed mental exhaustion
Business avoeations often involve an
amount of mental wear and tear very
prejudicial to physical health, and the
professions, if arduously pursued, are
no less destructive to brain and nerve
tissue. 1t is one of the most important
attributes of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, and it compensates for this undue
loss of tissue, and that it imparts new
energy to the brain and nerves. The
rapidity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is
remarkable, and shows that its invigor-
ating properties are of the highest order.
Besides increasing the vital stamina,
and counteracting the effects OF mental
exhaustion, this potential medicine
cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and
constipation, kidney and uterine weak
ness and other complaints. Physicians
also recommend it as amedicated stimu-
liant and remedy. I'm.
